Abstract
Lipid bodies are non-membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelles that are preva-lent in mammalian cells of diverse lineages and that have been observed to increase in cells involved in inflammatory responses. Specialized morpholog-ical and biochemical studies have provided evidence for the involvement of lipid bodies in eicosanoid synthesis.
